edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Nordic race. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Layout

edit

Hi - sorry to have reverted all your work, but unless there is a reason to remove templates you should leave them. You also might benefit from using WP:Edit summaries - I had to do a mass revert as I couldn't see which should still stay in. Please read WP:Layout, especially about section headings as you removed one. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 17:40, 9 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Using multiple accounts

edit

(  It has been found that you have been using one or more accounts abusively or have edited logged out to avoid scrutiny. Please review the policy on acceptable alternate accounts. In short, alternate accounts should not be used for the purposes of deceiving others into seeing more support for your position. It is not acceptable to use two accounts on the same article, or the same topic area, unless they are publicly and plainly disclosed on both your and the other account's userpage.

Your other account(s) have been blocked indefinitely. This is your only warning. If you repeat this behaviour you will be blocked from editing without further notice. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 11:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Nordic race. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 17:53, 12 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

edit

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Maeveh reported by User:Dougweller (Result: ). Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 09:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Nordic race. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Bishonen | talk 09:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

An explanation will help a lot

edit

There has been some doubt about your ability to read and communicate well in English, which you can easily remove by explaining clearly why you are removing maintenance templates and also why you are changing the images. I hope you can do this. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 10:25, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

BAD AND FALSES EXAMPLES OF NORDIC RACE

edit

I 'm editing Wikipedia photo of the Nordic race, because when I entered in wikipedia and saw these examples of Nordic race , I found them false and offensive .

I put photos of plates of Official anthropology, anthropologists like Bertil Lundman .

Meyers was a Nazi , and therefore was considered nordic , nordic but there's nothing in him, his features are Mediterranean , her hair is dark , her eyebrows are dark.

If you read the Germnai of Tacitus describes the Germanic people , and it's nothing like Meyers . I have nordic examples that are really different from Mediterranean examples . True Nordics, no mediterraneans o mediterraneans mixings.

Meyers was used as an example of Nordic race because he was a Nazi.

It's just offensive, it is offensive that you use a Mediterranean like him.

My photos show Nordic , your photos show Nazi Mediterranean .

My pictures are examples of true Nordic race , far from the Mediterranean .

Your examples are Mediterranean , far from the Norse.

The Nazis wanted to be Nordic , but were Mediterraneans , these features are mediterraneans.

Tacitus never described someone as well .

Everyone knows that the Nazis dreamed of being Nordic, but they were all Mediterranean.


These examples are Mediterranean.

I want to put people with NO MEDITERRANEAN features

OFFENSIVE


ARE MEDITERRANEANS

I try to put real examples of the Nordic race and prevent me from doing.

Plates are official. True Nordic.

It's offensive.

Thanks for explaining. But the way Wikipedia works is that you mustn't remove or alter article content without providing an edit summary. Please click on that link and read it. If you don't explain the edit as you make it, people will only WP:revert it, and if you revert them in your turn, you will soon be blocked for WP:edit warring again. Also, you must provide a source for all changes you make. Just give the source as you do the edit; we understand if you're unfamiliar with the technicalities of making a footnote, and people will fix it for you. OK? Edit summary and source and no edit warring, or you'll unfortunately find yourself blocked for a longer period. Bishonen | talk 11:12, 14 May 2014 (UTC).Reply

May 2014, continued

edit

  Hello, I'm Denisarona. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Nordic race without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

You've been unblocked, but please read this carefully, Maeveh

edit

Hello again, Maeveh. I have unblocked you, because I want you to have a chance to profit from my advice above. You did use another account, Maeveg, with just one letter different, but I'm willing to assume you created it by mistake, perhaps from a typo. Please forget about the block, but read the advice I gave you very carefully and do exactly as I say there, or you'll be in trouble again. I'll copy it below to make sure you find it:

You're welcome to ask me questions, here or on my page, if something's unclear. Bishonen | talk 13:52, 14 May 2014 (UTC).Reply

This is Dougweller. Just to add to the good advice above, you need to put your explanation at the bottom of the Talk:Nordic race talk page so that others can see it. I'll probably reply there if you do. Meanwhile you need to stop removing the templates at the top of the page (the messages about problems with the article) and also get agreement at the talk page for those images, which I don't think, wherever they came from, are suitable, and will probably be deleted in 3 days anyway for copyright reasons. I've reverted you again and if you continue to edit war the block may be reinstated. An edit summary isn't enough if other editors (5 now I believe) are reverting you, you need to get WP:CONSENSUS. Dougweller (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
In fact, I've copied your statement above to Talk:Nordic race. Dougweller (talk) 15:15, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I edited the section Nordic Race

edit

I hope everything is correct now.

I changed only two photos and some text added.

I followed the instructions.

As I said, I've reverted you and explained why on the talk page. Now it's your turn to try to convince other editors that you are right. If you can, no one will revert you. But you must respond there and not just revert. I think it's 6 editors who disagree with you. Please remember to sign with 4 tildes, eg ~~~~ Dougweller (talk) 15:30, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

How do I change the information in the Wikipedia Commons ?

Those photos do not violate rights, I want to add this. They are public

You can ask at Commons:Commons:Village pump/Copyright explaining the exact source of the images. Or you can ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. But if you read the instructions at File:Nordic Race Example.jpg it tells you what to do. See Commons:Copyright tags for further information. Dougweller (talk) 16:18, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please follow the "Bold, revert, discuss" principle

edit

Hi again. I forgot to tell you that there's a wiki principle known as bold, revert, discuss — please click to read it. It means that when you've changed an article boldly and have been reverted, you mustn't revert back, but open a discussion on the article's talkpage. Before you can make your change again, you have to convince other people, in a talkpage discussion, that your version is better. Bishonen | talk 15:53, 14 May 2014 (UTC).Reply
